Hydraulic Liftgate Maintenance Mesquite, TX

The best way to make your liftgate last is to stay up-to-date with preventative maintenance (PM). PM's are a basic check-up for your gate to ensure that everything is running correctly and functioning to the best of its ability. We recommend 3 to 4 PM's a year, but it will vary based on how much your gate is used day-to-day.

A PM consists of our team checking that all systems, electrical & hydraulic, are functioning correctly. We grease and lube all pivot points. Inspect pins, bearings, arms, rollers, chains, cables, and cylinders for wear and tear. From there, our experts at Texas Hydraulics will recommend any repairs that may need to be done or send you on your way.

Failure to perform hydraulic liftgate maintenance and tune-up services can affect the efficiency and safety of your gate. A sudden failure can leave you with an inefficient gate or with one that won’t properly open and close. Keep all your equipment tuned-up to continue to haul commercial equipment or make timely deliveries. Work with our team at Texas Hydraulics for essential repairs on leading liftgate brands.

MAINTENANCE SERVICES NEAR MESQUITE, TX FOR BUSY TRUCK OWNERS

Anyone who uses hydraulic liftgates on trucks needs routine hydraulic liftgate tune-ups. Delivery trucks and work vehicles use these dependable systems to load and unload the boxes safely. Without a liftgate, you need to use a forklift or a loading dock to add and remove items to the back of your truck.

Is it time for you to schedule a maintenance service? Too many truck owners wait until their liftgate is completely inoperable before they contact a repair team. Instead, schedule a tune-up at the first signs of a repair issue. Here are some common signs that your liftgate needs a hydraulic repair or tune-up:

• Downward movement while lifting the platform: Liftgate platforms should hold their position when stopped. A slow downward drift can be a sign of a leak in the hydraulic system.

• Slow operation: Not lifting and lowering like it used to? A slow-moving gate may need a new hydraulic pump or other lubrication services.

• Visible leaks: The most obvious sign you need a tune-up is a visible hydraulic fluid leak. A drip, spray, or flow of fluid will soon make your liftgate inoperable.

• Erratic movements: The platform should raise and lower evenly. Irregular movements could be caused by a wiring issue, fluid leak, or compromised pump.

• No operation: When you’re no longer able to raise or lower your liftgate, it’s time for an emergency maintenance service. While it’s best to schedule a repair before this moment, you can still receive affordable repairs in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.

Even if you don’t notice any of these obvious signs, it’s a good idea to have your liftgate inspected routinely. A PM schedule can be more affordable if it’s strictly followed, so schedule a service even if you don’t experience any serious performance issues.
